Patient's question:
The child had a high fever of 40 degrees and took half a bag of Nimesulide. After two hours, the fever subsided, but the temperature dropped below 35 degrees. What should I do? Please tell me quickly, I'm very anxious.Doctor's answer:
The causes of fever in children are quite numerous, and clinical diagnosis can be divided into infectious and non-infectious categories, with infectious causes being more common. Common causes include colds. For fever, it is essential to first identify the underlying cause and address it accordingly. High temperatures can easily lead to febrile seizures in children, so it is necessary to control the body temperature. The main methods for reducing temperature are medication and physical cooling. Specific medications should ideally be used under the guidance of a doctor.
